LoL I am not the one to ask as I haven't successfully eradicated them. BUT I have read that the H202 is not going to do the job.

So I guess I must have been wrong..... Checked all around, inside/outside the pot, drainage holes, I watered and made sure to check the runoff and I've seen nothing. There's def some vigorous root growth post transplant so perhaps some of def signals were coming from being root bound, which it really wasn't. So I don't really I guess lol. There has been definite slowdown in yellowing and some real nice top growth..... If they are there and I just can't see them, oh well.
I've heard that h2o2 will kill off fungas gnat larva in the right dilution, but too little and it won't do anything reall and too much will destroy your roots. Makes sense considering it will kill just about any type of larva. H2o2 breaks down living tissues, so I don't see why it wouldn't effect soft bodies creature like larva. But I've never had to deal with them so I'm just speculating. I've also heard of people using mosquito dunks if they are in DWC. Soil idk... But I'd like to thank you folks for the quick response and the wonderful information.
